It's very noticeable at the DPI of a 27" screen from arms' length. Or maybe not if you can't see very well. But on a TV from 10 feet away, I dunno if I could differentiate 1440p from 4K personally.

I have 27 inch 2k monitors at work, and it's already enough

27" 2K is a good DPI. I personally only went up to 4K 27" because I also wanted OLED, and the 2K OLED panel I was using had some noticeable text fringing because of the subpixel layout. At 4K it's not noticeable anymore.
